The Cultural Hub of Estonia
IRONMAN Tallinn’s big event is a part of the late summer triathlon festival in the capital of Estonia. The competition courses run through the wonderful nature of Harju Country. Tallinn fuses historical heritage with multiform culture, characterized by its lively cafes and restaurants proudly standing next to castles, churches and museums. The competition center is located by the Baltic Sea, where everything is close-by. Our course is known for its speed and flatness, which makes it a great opportunity for setting personal records (unless the wind plays a trick on you).
Swim
A two loop 3.8 km swim course at Stroomi Beach in the sea. The second lap starts with an Aussie exit. Stroomi Beach is a child-friendly, sand-covered swimming beach in northern Tallinn. The water is clear, and the bottom is sandy. Stroomi Beach is a popular spot for barbecues and picnics. In addition to beach facilities and playgrounds, it has well-lit bicycle tracks, sports fields, and several cafés.
In 2024, after several years, our swim course was held in the sea again, as we had to move the event from Harku Lake to the sea during race week due to poor water quality in the lake. We received a lot of positive feedback and have decided that swimming in the sea will be Plan A moving forward. After all, we are a maritime nation!
Bike
The bike course is fast and with a nice mix of city and countryside. The three-loop cycling course starts at Stroomi beach, then you cycle in the southern villages, head back to Tallinn border and go on the second/third lap or head to transition area 2 in Rocca al Mare. There are 9 aid stations. Elevation gain 190 meters per lap, 570 meters total.
